Description:  

In this episode of the Cauldron podcast, hosts Ed Bolden Greer and Jacob Garner delve into the haunting realm of rare phobias—those obscure and puzzling fears that slip through the cracks of mainstream psychology.

Rarely seen, these phobias are elusive by design, inhabiting fleeting moments of heightened tension or the hidden realms of the subconscious. They leave behind questions, whispers, and unease—fragments of encounters that only add to their mystique. Join us as we unravel the stories, symbolism, and psychological depths of these lesser-known fears, revealing how they hold sway over our minds in ways both subtle and profound. This is an episode that will leave you peering into the shadowy edges of your own fears, wondering what lies just out of sight.
